Read the paragraph. Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal, black cat, Max. How should this paragraph be revised so that it is correct? The word “soccer” should be capitalized. The comma after “however” should be removed. The word “cat” should be capitalized. The comma after “loyal” should be removed.

Answer: D, the comma after "loyal" should be removed

Explanation: Soccer is considered a common noun. It's a very broad noun and can be used for any soccer team. Common nouns shouldn't be capitalized, making A incorrect. The word "however" is used to introduce the sentence. It can be removed and the sentence would make perfect sense. Words like this NEED a comma, making B incorrect as well. Cat is also a common noun, so C is incorrect. You usually only put a comma between 2 adjectives when the adjectives are VERY similar. Loyal and black are not similar at all. Black cat is also what some people consider their breed of cat. The adjectives cannot be switched around, so D is correct
